Tue, 24 Jul 2012 19:27:20 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=221441#comment-2467953Lin has a great story, his route to the NBA and to that big contract is worth a t.v. mini-series. His honesty is saying that the ‘Linsanity’ hype got to his head is appreciated. As is his faith and just working to reach his potential. Seems like a legit, modest, hard working guy that is now recievig the fruits of his efforts. IF he does play to his ability and has a very good season (how ever you want to define that) then he’ll still have ‘haters’. IF he plays poorly next season – he’ll still have haters then too. So all he can do is work hard, play his game and keep his faith. I’m not a Lin fan, but appreciate the fact that he still seems ‘grounded’ and doesn’t come off like he’s fallen into his own hype machine. It’s really just unfortunate to me that he’s recieving so much ‘hate’ as he hasn’t done or said anything besides play basketball and thank god.

It is Houston’s fault for letting Lin fall through the crack. Now they are paying for someone they could have had a rock bottom Rookie Contract prices. I feel nothing for Houston over paying. And as for Lin playing at 85%. He’s a rookie! I don’t know how many times he’s been injured in his career.. but 85% is just a number he probably pulled out of thin air. I agree that MIA was lighting the Knicks up and making Lin look really bad.. but with no contract in place and possibly blowing out his knee and knocking him back to obscurity.. what would you do?

He is not the GM of the Rockets and James Dolan was (is) the biggest tard in the L before that Cavs owner opened his bitter trap. Why are people hating again?

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 18:21:53 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=221441#comment-2467593If you guys look at Lin’s background a little, you’ll see that his faith in God is genuine. It’s why he and Landry Fields had their pre-game handshake where they motioned flipping through the Bible and read a verse. And Lin’s faith comes out when he says he’ll “always, always have doubters.” He means that deeper than basketball. The Bible teaches that when you accept a relationship with Jesus, you will see doubt and criticism from the outside world. It takes a strong individual to stand up for their faith so publicly, because to the outside world, it looks “corny” or “fake.” So in that regard, I respect guys like Lin and Tebow. I encourage my brothers and sisters to read Matthew 5:11-12

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:55:46 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=221441#comment-2467479i dont have kids, but if i did and they were into sports i would make damn sure that a guy like Linn and/or Tebow were their favorites/idols (mostly cause of their never ending thanking to God). And that’s real, but at the same time these guys might not be real if they are only saying these things for the exact hypothetical that i used.

Durant will fall off grace in about 2 years. i can guarantee it.

In Houston he will average 11pts and 6assists a game. If he averages more points, its because he will take about 15 to 25 shots a game. I forgot he will average 4 turnovers a game too.

He has money, he’s a Harvard graduate, he has millions of fans, he’s gonna be an allstar, what more do you need or want. And take a look at the category of the fans that hate him. I can live with that and would be a pig in shi$.

I hope he can repeat it in Houston. He refused to play at 85% in the playoffs to make sure he didnt look bad. He is fortunate that the Knicks even cared to bring him back.

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:30:22 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=221441#comment-2466672People really need to re-evaluate what ‘hating’ actually is. It’s not simply disliking a player because he made a decision. It’s one of the most over-used words in sports & society in general. Hate is deeper than a passing superficial emotion of anger, distress or frustration. If you truly do not feel hate towards a man/event, don’t use it. Use it to describe an injustice that has gone unpunished or unrecognised for its depravity, such as r@pe or mu*der. Use it to describe the feelings experienced afterwards, even if the issue at hand has been addressed. That’s when it should be used.
(Just my opinion obviously, but I felt like it needed to be said. People don’t ‘hate’ Jeremy for his decision. They disagree with it vehemently. It’s absolutely not the same thing.)
ps – SLAM, stop deleting my comments. I saw that it’d gone through earlier & is no longer on the site. What’s up with that?
